AUPHA Program and Faculty Awards

Starting in 2018, AUPHA will award member programs and faculty for their service and engagement with AUPHA. No applications are necessary. AUPHA will determine eligibility from AUPHA records and will determine the winners based on those that best meet the criteria. The awards will be presented at the AUPHA Annual Meeting.

The more active you and your program are, the more likely you will be eligible to receive an award.
